What syncing program are you using? You should be able to just go into the complete list of your songs and press the delete key.bigdirtyfoot at 2007-11-15 17:04:41 >

I'm having a similar problem as well. I am using MMJB and controlling songs with the "portable device" window. It was working fine until I deleted a bunch off and now when I highlight songs and hit delete, it will go through the motions...BUT...the file is still there. It will not delete it.Johnnyecks at 2007-11-15 17:06:44 >

No..you don't want to do that! It will wipe off the iPods database (and a number of other files) and you'll have to do a restore.If you've been using MMJB and have switched to iTunes it is best to do a Restore first to clean up all the MMJB garbage that's on there.
If you're using MMJB--switch to iTunes or MC9

I just started using Itunes and Ipod - never used MM but still have the problem that I am unable to delete songs from ipod, please help i want to get rid of duplicates, should i do the restore or not? thanksdigrace at 2007-11-15 17:12:52 >

The original problem is that the iPod's database is corrupt and you have orphan tunes on the iPod.To clean things up, just run a restore. I personally recommend you do this once a month or so just to keep things clean on the iPod.
Once you do the restore, reupload all your tunes.
And stay far, far away from MMJB.
